Police Ease Traffic Jam North of Jerusalem

Police have succeeded in alleviating the traffic congestion on Highway 60, at the intersection between Adam and Pisgat Zev, north of Jerusalem. A stalled truck had backed up traffic. In November, the Samaria (Shomron) Residents' Council wrote to Transportation and Road Safety Minister Yisrael Katz, asking him to find a working solution to the frequent congestion. The route is used to access the communities of Beit El, Shilo, Ofra, Adam, Kohav Yaakov, and the shopping complex at the Shaar Benyamin center.
